I'm not really sure if it counts as an addiction or not because I know when to stop and I do stop. It can easily become one though if I'm not careful.

My family doesn't know about my psychosis, or other problems, save for a few family members that do. The person who made that comment doesn't know about my problems. Hell, she didn't know that I was having problems when I got diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. I just seem so well put together. I just don't talk about how I'm feeling a lot of the time.

Those words also hurt because I know about the mistreatment of mentally ill people, especially ones with stigmatized illnesses. I know how people's misconceptions can lead to mistreatment, and I know about people who were hurt because of people's misconceptions.

Thanks for the responses everyone.
